Silk is one of those materials that most women can always count on for a special event or a little bit of daily luxury. And while we see so many gorgeous silk dresses this time of year, I have a soft spot for the more casual and cool look of silk pants.

With the holiday season fast approaching, you will undoubtedly be shopping for a special outfit for parties and events. But to keep the look comfortable and still dressy-looking, silk pants are a great option.

There are plenty of styles to choose from, but the most popular are a silm, dark silhouette, a loose-fitting harem style or a cropped cargo look. I'm also a huge fan of lady-like wide-leg silk trousers with a high waist. You can pair these silk styles with a lot of different looks. Do a baggy jersey tee for a more casual look, or pair them with a patterened blouse and jacket for something dressy.

And surprisingly, it isn't impossible to find a pair for a reasonable price. The first two pair pictured (from ASOS and Shopbop.com) are both under $200. The green cargo pair are made by Elizabeth and James ($265) and 3.1 Philip Lim ($375).
